Hello,

I just got an e-mail last night that the edger attachment for the power head system was back in stock. When I went to the Home Depot site to buy one (I have been on the e-mail waitlist since April), there didn't seem to be any. Is this an error? Are more coming in? I'd love more clarification on this. I am also after the pole saw attachment, which seems to be out of stock as well.

EGO's relationship with The Home Depot is still going strong. Not all stores carry the replacement blades, but we'd be happy to help get you what you need. Give us a call at 1-855-346-5656. The service team is available until 8pm EST today.

Amber, FYI - our local HD #6381 stopped displaying your mowers just after I bought mine in May. The sales guy was perplexed because they had been selling well. He said it was "orders from Atlanta" to shrink the mower display down to 2 bays from 3 (this is in FL where we mow year round) and to eliminate the EGO product.

Discussed elsewhere that HD email reminder system sucks. Several people commented that they found the edger available prior to receiving an email from HD. Probably get info quicker by monitoring this board than counting on HD email system.

The email notifications appear to have been the result of a glitch with Home Depot's site. They are aware of the situation and actively working to fix it. Apologies for any confusion or inconvenience!

Additionally, we can officially confirm that the edger will be available again mid-August. We do not have a more specific date at this time, but will post as soon as that information becomes available.

Ordered the edger and weed eater this morning. No email notification from HD that they were available. I had been checking every morning and evening for the past three weeks when they magically appeared this morning, 8/15. Powerhead was ordered last week. So they have the powerhead, the edger, and the weed eater all available separately now, but not in kit form.

Amber, I have the ST1500-SF trimmer and want to get an edger. I see an edger accessory to a multi-head platform but is there a stand alone edger? I don't think my trimmer is the one where I can swap attachments.

So I emailed HD and complained about this, and got an email back saying back in stock 08/02.

Then I get a follow-up email from them saying 08/20.

Sounds like either HD or EGO parent (whatever that name is, wonder why they are so shy to mention it in this web site - I just checked main pages) is playing a cruel joke on us and I am wondering whether to extend my wait or just go for something else.

Using the trimmer as edger doesn't give a neat finish and is not advisable.

Shipping from China is usually predictable. When I was doing it, it was usually 6 weeks door-to-door. However, things can get stuck in Customs. I once had 100,000 power cords stuck in the Port of LA for over a month because the freight consolidator screwed up and put some dried meat product in the same container. Had to air freight replacements to keep the line running. $$$!
